New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Down The Middle lyrics

Hunter-Nelson (Refrain) River may/ river may / river may roll The road / the road / the road may call Sunset reaches of the peaks may rise Shining like the gates of paradise Line down the middle of the road so white Daylight crashes into night Sometimes yellow, sometime red Where roads of homeless strangers led My destination is freedom itself If I find it I'll share the wealth Roll down the window, arm on the sill First coyote calls from the hill (Refrain) Been on the road 10,000 days Line down the middle of blue highways Last thing I see as light doth fade Skull and crossbones on my grave Can't drive that image from my head The radio plays tunes of dread Line in the middle rolls straight to dawn That's the faith of the road I'm on Last night's a thousand years ago Dawn pours diamonds in the road Sunlight splashing on the hill As if to say it always will Only thing I want deep down Cup of coffee and a quarter round The quarter round is as-may-be But the cup of coffee, definitely (Refrain)
